What to expect at the Lakmé Fashion Week SR ’17

Like every season Lakmé’s brand ambassador Kareena Kapoor Khan will be the showstopper for Anita Dongre’s grand finale show at the Lakmé Fashion Week summer/ resort 2017. We can’t wait to see Bebo take the runway for the first time after delivering her baby last month.

The Gen Next show at LFW is always the one to watch. It serves as the springboard for a lot of fantastic design talent every season. The designers showcasing on the Gen Next runway this season are: Ishanee Mukherjee and Anirudh Chawla with their label Poochki, Pallavi Singh with Arcvsh, Nakita Singh, Resham Karamchandani and Sanya Suri with The Pot Plant and Soumodeep Dutta.

In addition to diversity this season is also about fashion with a heart. LFW has tied up with Kranti – an NGO that empowers girls from Mumbai’s red light areas to be agents of social change. Another big highlight this season is the Dharavi project in association with the NGO SNEHA and Godrej Culture Lab.

Apart from serving as a launchpad for new talent, Lakmé Fashion Week can be credited for bringing established talent back on the runways. This season the two designer presentations to look forward to are by Falguni and Shane Peacock (who return after a break of 6 years) and Goa-based designer Savio Jon.
